Funeral Homes Near Winter Haven, Florida

Where do I start! This June, while vacationing in Florida with my mom, she unexpectedly passed away. Needless to say, my family was in shock and in a location and situation unfamiliar to us. We contacted Kersey Funeral Home close by to where we were visiting. We met the director, Mr Jackson, who guided us through the entire process from securing Mom’s remains from the hospital to her cremation. He listened to our wishes and built a portfolio of services for us based on those wishes. He was very upfront with the costs, which were very reasonable, and never pushed any services on us. He treated us like family and his care and compassion comforted us in knowing that he genuinely cared that our mom’s remains were handled with dignity and good care. With the following weekend running into the holiday weekend, time was of the essence in getting things accomplished. He was detailed in every part of the process , leaving no ambiguity. Mr Jackson and his staff made all necessary contacts and constantly kept us informed with updates. Every contact made with him and his staff was pleasant and warm. He also reminded us to honor our mom’s legacy by telling “Her story” when writing her obituary on the funeral home’s website. This added service that was included at no extra cost, has blessed our family members all over the country to share their memories in word and pictures. I praise God for this connection with Kersey. Mr Jackson and his staff provided the ‘calm in the storm’. Forever grateful, The Winston and Moore Family.

Oak Ridge Funeral Care exceeded every expectation during one of the most difficult times of my life. From the very beginning, they treated my family and me with genuine compassion, dignity, and respect. I want to especially recognize Nicole for her exceptional professionalism, kindness, and empathy throughout the entire process. She patiently guided me through every step, answered every question with care, and made an overwhelming experience much easier to navigate. Her compassion never felt routine, it felt sincere, and that meant more than words can express. Losing my wife, Tabatha, has been the most difficult experience I've ever faced, and the team at Oak Ridge Funeral Care provided comfort and support when I needed it most. They handled every detail with the utmost respect and ensured that Tabatha was honored beautifully. If you are looking for a funeral home that truly cares about the families they serve, I wholeheartedly recommend Oak Ridge Funeral Care. Thank you, Nicole, and the entire staff, for your kindness, professionalism, and for helping us honor Tabatha's life with such grace.
